' The invention set forth herein is an improved *serted into this cylinder so'that the paper can be 'disposed'in a recessor casing where it is kept tobeunrolled and detached bit by bit till the roll is expended. The casingis built into the wall of the'bathroom or othercompartment having the toilet seat, tank and. other. equipment. 1

Td' put a' rollinto place, the dep-ressible stud is pushed out into projecting position by a compressed spring, and when the paper is mounted in the casing, this stud must be retracted to enable the paper to be put into the casing or recess,

and afterwards be supported with the projections in small bearings at the sides of the casing. With the holder constructed in the prevalent fashion, the task of putting the roll of paper into place is more or less difilcult', and often entails much annoyance and discomfort, because of pinched fingers or even broken fingernails and other minor injuries.

It is important object of my invention to provide a holder which comprises a member of such character as to permit a roll of toilet paper to be mounted in the casing set up for it, with ease and safety; and which is simple and eflicient in construction and capable of being produced at small expense.

On the accompanying drawings:

Figure 1 is a front view of a toilet paper holder according to my invention;

Figure 2' is an end elevation thereof.

Figure 3 is a perspective view showing one end of my improved holder;

Figure 4 is a similar view of another form of my invention;

Figure 5 is a side view, and Figure 6 an end view of one end, of another form of my invention;

Figures 7 and 8 are similar views of a further modification;

Figures 9 and 10 are similar views of still another modification; and

Figures 11 and 12 are similar views of a sixth embodiment of the invention.

My improved holder as a whole is shown at I. It is in one piece and has the form of a flat bent strip, preferably'of metal, one side 2 being bent 3 l is flexible and resilient up to serve 'as one end a-bulg'e at the center, in line with the axis oi.

3. The other-end 4 has the hoider to makea stud 5. The oppositeside 6 extends past the end 3 and is bent over across the end am constitute an arm I which has a similar outward projecting axial stud 5, and terminates in a" finger hold 8. The casing or recess Ill in the wall of wood, metalor tiling, hasffbearing's' 9 in its opposite sides. This holder has the shape of an openrectangularframe; and the arm In slider to put the rollof paper in the recess HL dne inserts the holder through the center of the roll'l i which is usually lined with acardboard sleeve 20. One stud-5 at the left goes into the bearing 9 at one side of thelrecess creasing l0. At the same time, arm I and the'other stud- 9 are pressed towards the holder l. The other stud 5 can thus be made to clear the adjacent side of the recess l0 till it comes into line with the adjacent bearing 9. The arm 1 is then released and it pushes the stud 5 it carries into the adjacent bearing 9. The whole operation is thus very easily managed with no trouble whatever.

The holder Ia, of Figure 4 is in one piece and is made of stiff wire bent into a similar frame. One end I4 has a looped extremity l5 engaging the side l3 and from this end runs the side [2, bent transversely to make the end l6, having a bulge toprovide a stud H. The end I6 unites with the opposite side 13 which goes through the loop I5, and is bent across the end M to provide an arm l8 with similar stud or projection l1, and terminates in a finger hold l9. This holder is used in the same way as that of Figure v3.

The holder lb of Figures 5 and 6 is made of a piece of wire bent into U-shape and is'operated in the same manner. It has arms or parts 20 connected by a base 2|. Each arm is bent at its end into a rectangular frame 22, at the outer sides of which are bent extremities of wire to constitute the studs or projections 23. The arms 20 are flexible and resilient to a sufficient extent to enable them to yield when the holder is slipped into the recess ll. One projection 23 goes into one bearing opening 9 and the other projection 23 gives when it comes into contact with the other side of the recess and snaps into the adj acent bearing as soon as it registers therewith.

The roll of paper H and sleeve 20' turn freely on the body I as the paper is unrolled.

In Figures 7 and 8, a U-shaped holder to made of resilient wire having a base 2| and arms 20a is illustrated. The ends of the arms 20a termiresilient bent wire, with a base 2| having arms 5 201). These arms are bent at their ends into spiral coils 28, extending inward, and having outward projecting coiled ends to make studs 29.

A holder for a hollow roll of paper, comprising a body to support said roll, said body having the form of an elongated flat piece of metal bent at several points, and having parallel overlapping sides, said body having transverse supporting parts at each end, one of said parts connecting said sides, said parts having projections in line with the axis of the holder, one of said parts being flexible and resilient, and extending laterally besive, th'eiframedtl, plugs 26, andyeoils 28' go! into 10 iyondthe-body and having a tree. extremity.
